3 years ago

A San Antonio grandmother has been busted by federal agents for selling cakes.

Maria Perez was hauled into federal court, today, because she's accused of running a small catering company out of her home while she was also collecting full disability benefits from her job as a Management Assistant with the Air Force on the now-shuttered Kelly Air Force Base.

"During undercover operations, the undercover agents ordered and purchased several cakes from Perez," the criminal complaint reads. "Interviews of multiple witnesses revealed Perez works as a baker for Veronica's Cakery & Special Events."

Perez is accused of lying on a federal form when she did not disclose the extra income.

"She received less than $1,000 in DOL-OWCP benefits she was not entitled to received in 2011," the complaint reads. The Department of Labor, Office of Workers Compensation Program is the agency that handles disability.
